Obviously a longshot, but I would look into it...

Might be on to something, Cutler is the wild card.

iifold · 11-06-12, 01:09 PM

Brutal fukkin schedule...

Haven't been tested yet...

Cutler gets hurt or plays bad this team will implode...

Agree, however, if Cutler is playing to full potential they could be the team to beat.

mynameismud · 11-06-12, 01:16 PM

if cutler stays healthy...they make the playoffs. not even worth looking into imo until hes not the starter. as much a i think cutler is a douchebag, the guy can win games.

iifold · 11-06-12, 01:26 PM

Houston
@SF
Minnesota
Seattle
@Minnesota
Green Bay
@Arizona
@Detroit

They can easily go 3-5 with Cutler playing...

If the go 2-6 they finish 9-7...

9-7 teams miss playoffs all the time...

Not saying it will happen, but could...

You think if it came down to the final game of the season the Bears would lose to the Lions?

tto827 · 11-06-12, 01:31 PM

The bears MIGHT lose 2 of those games. They will split the next two, then lose one more game somewhere, Chicago will not have to play a first round playoff game, and the road to the super bowl may very likely go through Chicago.

No chance...

100 points says the Bears get a 1st round bye?

Louisvillekid1 · 11-06-12, 01:43 PM

Better off betting them to win the Super Bowl, they are still my pick...

mynameismud · 11-06-12, 01:44 PM

they need 4 more wins. i think only 1 team in the history of modern football has missed the playoffs at 11-5.

Frisco · 11-06-12, 01:58 PM

If they are going to miss the playoffs the big games would be against the Seahawks, vikings, and Lions. Those precious tiebreakers.

i'll take that bet if you ship the 100 points. you get bears to have a first round bye 100 points to win 100.

not to say you're not trustworthy, but i have been burned in the past

If the bears win this week, and if the Bears beat SF they get it pretty easy, if SF wins then this will be interesting down the stretch.

If Cutler is given time and with that defense, special teams they are easily a top 8 team in the whole league!

yeah really i don't think there's much of an argument, they are solid

official milwaukee mike ranking of teams that matter:
packers
patriots
49ers
bears
houston
atlanta

R.P. McMurphy · 11-06-12, 03:18 PM

Bears are a great team and have all 3 phases covered. Only cause for concern at times is that o-line. My best teams from each conference are Houston and Sf. And everyone should know by now when it matters in Jan you can NEVER count out Giants, Steelers, Pats. The Bears, Falcons, Packers, Broncos teamws like that are in that 3rd tier for me.

Stevedore · 11-06-12, 06:42 PM

I can't wait to drill this team again, Packer's defense > Cutler and Bears offense.

At the end of the day, Jay still gonna throw us the ball.

How about under 12 wins?

Available right now.

Lions will win that final game of the season because it'll most likely mean they make the playoffs if they win that game. Bears won't win that game in DET. Did you not watch the last game in Chicago? DET dominated that game. If they play the same game again in DET in a dome:

Lions 27
Bears 14-17

and you know it. just look at the stats.

They barely scored last game, now they are getting three touchdowns?

So the question is.......Will the Packers finish 11-5?

They'll probably get there, but the Bears are getting 12-14 wins so it won't matter.

JakeLc · 11-07-12, 01:24 PM

Worth a shot. Is the defense scoring points week after week really sustainable? The offensive line any good?

R.P. McMurphy · 11-07-12, 03:53 PM

That's the 1 worry that I have as mentioned .. the o-line! When facing a team with 1 or more elite pass rushers or who like to blitz Cutler could have a long day. Defense wins in January though and the Bears def have that covered! Balty won a S.B. with ZERO offense
